Hafenstudios Leadlotse – Form & Lead Manager

1.4.3

• Improved: every submitted value is sanitised centrally, before any extension sees it. The request snapshot handed to spam filters is now a sanitised excerpt of the request headers instead of the raw server environment.
• Improved: HTML returned by the leadlotse_form_fields filter is limited to input elements before it is printed.
• Improved: longer prefixes for stored data. The form post type, the entries table and the plugin transients now carry the plugin name; existing installations are migrated on update.
• Improved: source strings are English. German is delivered as a translation, and other languages can be contributed on translate.wordpress.org.

1.4.0

• New: three appearances per form – plain (a bottom line instead of a box), card (border and shadow) and compact (single row, for newsletter sign-ups). Selected in the builder, the preview follows.
• New: the form inherits colours, radius and typography from your theme without a line of CSS. To change something you set a variable instead of a rule, for example .leadlotse-form { –ll-akzent: #0a6; }.
• New: a visible sending state on the submit button (ring, label, disabled) so nobody clicks twice on a slow connection.
• New: error messages sit at the field instead of only being collected at the top, including the ones from the browser, and are wired up with aria-invalid and aria-describedby. They disappear as soon as the input is valid.
• New: the consent field gets its own calm row instead of being small print between two fields.
• New: attribution values (ref and utm_*) survive a detour over other pages. Somebody who arrives on a blog post through ?ref=partner and only then clicks to the form is attributed correctly. This is remembered for the session only, without a cookie, and can be switched off.
• New: the empty state offers the three most common purposes as tiles and leads into the builder with one click.
• New: the label of the submit button is stored again. It was read when rendering but silently dropped when saving.
• New: every field id of a submission can be used as a {fieldid} placeholder in the subject and body of the notification and confirmation email, next to {name}, {first_name}, {form} and {site}.
• Fixed: if a form definition cannot be stored, the editor now reports an error instead of showing success while the change is gone. The value is read back after writing and compared.
• Improved: German field names are recognised. A field named “vorname” or “nachname” now yields a contact with a name; if no name field exists, the display name is built from first and last name.
• Improved: hidden fields store up to 500 instead of 200 characters, so long campaign ids are no longer truncated.
• Improved: table names in database queries use the %i identifier placeholder throughout.
• Improved: borders and error colours follow the page rather than the operating system and meet the contrast requirements in both light and dark.

1.2.0

• New: number field with an optional minimum and maximum.

1.1.0

• New: mail sender settings page with a test mail and deliverability hints.
• Improved: stricter phone number validation.
